100 percent of a cell’s functional sequence complexity is still intact after cell death.

Is that the DNA sequence? Bruce Lipton says that the DNA is not the life of the cell, not the brain. The life, or brain function resides in the cell wall. When the cell wall stops processing, the cell is dead, but when a body, 50 trillion cells in a colony, dies, individual cells may live on for a long time.

Bruce Lipton's book will ship from Amazon May 31. In case anybody is ordering and wants the book sooner, he says it is available now from his own website. I have already placed an order with Amazon and will wait since I already have plenty of reading material.

The life, or brain function resides in the cell wall.

Does Lipton mean by this that the cell wall is to be understood as a boundary condition? And that life "leaks in" through that boundary? That's interesting, RW. But if it is true that life is the unity of structure, function, and regulation; and if the estimate can be trusted that there are approximately 6*1013 cells in the adult human body, how is this astronomically vast number of cells coordinated so as to express organic unity? Of what does the regulative process consist? The idea of organic wholeness, dynamic integration of the zillions of constituting parts, seems to demand the presence of a regulative or governing principle -- which would appear to be of an "informative" nature.

What's your view on this?
